Still more to grow?

[welshied]

My ID x TB with a bit of cob thrown in aswell has just turned 5 and has recently grown a little bit more and is now about 16.3hh is he likely to grow much more do we think or will that be about his last growth spurt he has proberbly grown about 2 inches in a year?!

is he still bum high?

I think its normally warmbloods that keep growing til about 8ish! not sure about ID or TB

I'm hoping TB's stop young as my boy is 3 and already over sized

Have you tried string test?

No not tried the string test his sire was only 16hh and his dam was smaller didnt think he would grow any more but he keeps creeping up

mines the same!

his dad was 14'2, mum was 15'3. He was 3 a month ago and is 16'2 already!

I swear someone's been spiking his feed with mirical grow!

Just found some more info on his dam looks as though she was maybe 16hh so might explain his height a bit more

I use the string test as its fairly accurate on mine. Measure from the middle of the knee to the top of the coronet and what that is in inches is what your horse should be in hands. My 3yr old cob measures 15.1hh and he's currently 14.3hh so I think that will be right.

Did the string test today and according to that he should have about 1 inch left to grow
